Unbelievable...due to garbage!
My son and I were fishing the NSR over the weekend.
I could not believe the garbage along the bank. Some of it was from fishermen...bait boxes, etc. But a lot had just washed up on shore due to the fluctuating river levels. And then this.... https://globalnews.ca/news/3835007/a..._campaign=2014 Most of the garbage we saw along the river was plastic. Just brutal for the wildlife!! :angry3: |
Typical of the NSR River, people have 0 respect! you can argue that it is due to it flowing right through a large city, but the Bow river is nothing like the NSR.

Thanks for posting, much more awareness needed. I’ve gotten in to the habit of always carrying a garbage bag with me as i know that virtually everywhere I go to fish I will surely encounter someone else’s mess. There is usually always a garbage can near a boat launch to use or I cart it home and dispose of it there. If we all cared enough to pick up after ourselves and/or for someone else less responsible our pursuit of outdoors enjoyment would be a whole lot better. Be a better steward of the environment everybody, a little bit of extra care and effort goes a long way.

My hat is off to the angler that caught and carefully removed that garbage.

I try to remember a trash bag when I go out, I forget sometimes. Then I just grab a few of the bigger pieces to throw in the truck.

Typical of all our waters. Except remote lakes....

One of my usual hauls from a trip to the highwood this fall. Seems there's more every time I go, even if it's just the next day. Cans, towels and flip flops are most common. |
I also find it frustrating and annoying when people either don't clean up after themselves or go out of their way to dispose of their garbage in nature. It shows a huge lack of respect.

People that do that should face serious corporal punishment...caning..or horse whipping. There is absolutely no reason to litter and dump your garbage all over the place. I have zero tolerance for this.

I also used to fish Legends and remember taking several garbage bags out that area. We even filled the back of my truck one time. Its a shame people cant keep the area clean. |
Sad to say but Legends isn't the only spot that the pigs like to roam

I jet boat up and down the nsr all summer. Stop at lots of areas to fish and what not. It’s sad to see the garbage left. I usually have at least an extra grocery bag full of garbage at the end of the day. The worst spot I have seen is by the bridge at Drayton Valley, there’s a rocky area just up from the bridge good fishing spot. The amount of beer cans and bait containers is crazy.
